I work in an OB/GYN office, surrounded by beautifully pregnant women every day. I’ve been through so many journeys with these women. So many ups and downs. I’ve also been on my own roller coaster for the past year. My husband and I are about to cross the one year marker of trying to conceive.

In that year, I’ve watched a handful of close friends and both of my sisters get pregnant. Each month, I wanted so badly to be pregnant along side them.

Working where I work, has been to my benefit. I’ve gotten special treatment as a patient such as starting testing after 6 months rather than having to wait a full year. I learned I had many eggs, of good quality that were dispensed monthly. Despite getting pregnant in a previous relationship, I waited to test my husband. Why? I don’t know. In retrospect that was...well, dumb.

The results came back today for my husband. It turns it will be rather difficult to get pregnant and that

is our best option.

I don’t feel at all like it is unfair, I am simply heartbroken to know that it will take however much time longer...

Some days, it can be hard to believe that it will ever happen. I have always wanted to be a mother.
